In an interview with Times Of India a few years ago, Sanjay Kapoor talked about the bond he shared with Rajiv Kapoor, both of who grew up in Chembur together. "My mom and Krishna aunty were best of friends and Chimpu (Rajiv Kapoor) and I grew up together... Chimpu had a car and would travel abroad, right from when he was a year old. But our parents brought us up in a way that we never had any complexes. I remember Chimpu became an actor very quickly. Prior to his becoming an actor, when we went out together, if he paid the bill two times, I would pay it once. But we would go to ordinary places then that both of us could afford," read an excerpt from Sanjay Kapoor's interview.
